Fabulous work, a mix that has you floating amongst the clouds!🤍

For the 48th instalment of our podcast series, Introspective Electronics founder Lucie Stepankova aka Avsluta steps in with a live recording of her DJ set at last month’s Ambient Tide, a Brussels-based listening event series run by our dear friend and fellow ambientist Kato De Vidts. We couldn’t imagine a better setting for this set to take place ~ the floor fully covered in rugs and cushions, low hanging lanterns emanating soft warm light, the scent of palo santo drifting through the air and focused audience listening with patience and curiosity 💆🏻‍♀️

Avsluta is a London-based producer, DJ, live performer and event curator navigating the liminal spaces between ambient and dance music. For the past 8 years, Lucie has been deepening her musical knowledge working behind the counter at Phonica Records, catering to London’s ambient and downtempo heads on most Saturdays and making a few good friends along the way. She runs Introspective Electronics as is actually the person writing this text, which does feel a little awkward but it has to be done. Together with her friend Alicia, she runs Terra Obscura, aiming to make clubbing cozy and on ocassion, curates solo or collaborative ambient events as part of Introspective Electronics ✨

Just shy of two hours, this mix weaves a thread of hopeful softness made for moments of deep relaxation and focus. Voices and gentle rhythms ebb and flow atop lush drones, giving way to arpeggiated passages, spoken word and field recordings. Recommended listening at dusk, in a candle-lit space, floating on a pile of cushions and wrapped in fluffy blankets with a mandatory cup of steaming tea 🍵

Recorded live at Ambient Tide in October 2024

Podcast Series 48 | Avsluta @ Ambient Tide

Glisten ☉ Ouroboros Festival 2024

The Circle Stage awakened on Saturday morning as Glisten opened the Circle Stage, weaving a tapestry of sound that felt both otherworldly and deeply intimate. A fusion of lush, ambient melodies and intricate, trippy drum rhythms—felt like an invocation of a day dream-state. It was as if we had been transported by a blue lotus flower to a space where time slowed, and the air shimmered with a surreal beautiful vibration. Chimeric, organic forms seemed to sprout from the music itself, growing, twisting, and blooming in rhythm, expanding not just our imagination but our hearts, through the creation of a unspoken connexion between space and people.

Thank you Sofia for opening to us this way.

Embodiment 068 - Synthbiont & Anassimandrus

For our 33rd mix, we welcome Simone Gatto, the founder of Pregnant Void, following the release of his LP Invisible Love.

The art of mindful silence is not simply the absence of noise. It is an invitation to listen more deeply, to tune into the sounds and melodies that accompany us moment after moment.

In this sonic journey, we range from environmental recordings to electronic and experimental music with unexpected and surprising sound waves and acoustic structures, leading to a dreamlike state.

By observing how sounds can emerge, hidden realms emerge that remind us of the interaction between body, mind and spirit, between the world inside and outside of us...

Sit back, close your eyes and enjoy the journey!

Zenner Berlin 2025

This mix has been brewing in my head for a while now.. An inkling of it first started to pop up back in October while we were at our biannual Delayed gathering in the mountains of upstate New York. I played a set with a dear friend on the Sunday morning there - cozy & hopeful music from various corners of our collections that don't get played very often but are set aside for special moments. My favorite kind of music.. It was one of the most memorable sets I've played & brought up a ton of emotions & memories from past experiences hearing some of those songs. Memories from my wedding, memories of my brother, memories from times living in Los Angeles when Sundays were all about lounging around all day in the sunshine after nights of dancing into the early hours of the morning. We laughed, cried, danced, ate lunch, all over the course of the morning into the early afternoon. It laid the foundation for how I wanted to approach this mix for Zach.

Sundays for me have always been a day of healing - mentally, physically, emotionally. It's a day to seek inner peace & a day to be reminded of everything you have to be grateful for in spite of anything else. I recorded this mix on a rainy Saturday earlier this month, channeling all of those memories & feelings, with my dog by my feet while my wife & daughter wandered about the house, making beaded bracelets & doing various arts & crafts.

From me to you, a warm hug & the promise of spring.
